Not only credibility, which isn't too important unless you are running for some type of award, but more importantly it might lead to a solution.
I have not read all of the posts. This has probably been addressed, but I'll risk it. When using a SPL meter as a guide once your system has 'warmed up' you just might find that by moving the listening chair (I assume you do all your critical listening from a centered seat in a close to equalateral triange) backward or forward (as little as 6" can may a huge difference in the bass) or the speakers but not so much, and take advantage of nulls or nodes caused by your room and or speaker/listening chair placement.
Just a WAG, but judging from your system photos you might yet have something to learn about set up and room acoustics. Just a guess mind you.
If you need help learning how to use a SPL meter just ask.
Good luck.
